The Canton teenager accused of threatening to burn the Canton School has waived her preliminary hearing. The case of Heather Nicole Singer, 17, who is charged with the class C felony of making a terrorist threat, was bound over to Lewis County Circuit Court, with formal arraignment set for Nov. 10 at 9 a.m. Judge Russell Steele will hear the case. Singer was allowed to post $1,000 cash and be under house arrest. Singer had been enrolled at Canton R-V School when, according to court records “on or about September 27 (she) communicated on a Facebook page and confirmed it to a school official and law enforcement officer a threat to burn down the Canton R-V School.”

Three arrested for manufacture of meth at LaBelle Senior Housing
LAY, ROMAN By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Three men, including two brothers were arrested Saturday, Oct. 22, after the discovery of a methamphetamines lab at LaBelle Senior Housing. The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office was attempting to locate a wanted subject at 302 North Sixth (apartment 2B, LaBelle Senior Housing). As a deputy approached the door, he smelled doors from the

apartment associated with the manufacturing of meth. Upon entry into the apartment three individuals, occupants of the address were actively involved in the production of meth and taken into custody. Arrested were Roman Lee Lay, 25, Lewistown, who was on parole from the Missouri Department of Corrections after an early release; his brother Charles R. Lay, 27, Lewistown, who was released
from the Missouri Department of Corrections the day before; and John D. Lewis, 41, LaBelle, also a prior felon. Each is charged with the class B felony of manufacturing of methamphetamines and are being held in the Lewis County Jail, each in lieu of $50,000. The Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Northeast Missouri’s Narcotics Task Force assisted the Sheriff’s Office.
Crane flips during tower work in Ewing By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
A crane flipped over Friday morning in Ewing while a radio tower was being taken down to be moved to the Ewing R-4 Fire station. Ewing R-4 Fire Chief Doug Vaughn said he was donating the 150-foot tower to the fire department, to replace one destroyed in the late June windstorm. As a crane of Blick’s Construction in Quincy was taking down the tower, the crane “tipped over fairly slowly,” according to Vaughn. Vaughn said the cab did not make contact with the ground, and four members of the R-4 department who were already on scene extricated the operator in a matter of minutes. There were no apparent injuries to the operator. Vaughn has worked with Blick’s before on tower projects, and Blick’s had installed the tower 22 years earlier with the same crane. Vaughn has never had a problem before. The donated tower was damaged, and Vaughn said would be scrapped for salvage, and the retractable boom of the crane was also damaged. Another Blick’s crane removed the damaged crane, and the site was cleared about 4 p.m. Blick’s indicated they had a tower to donate to the fire station.
TAX STATEMENTS DELAYED IN GETTING TO RESIDENTS By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
The Lewis County tax statements will be slightly later arriving this year than usual. County Collector Robert E. Veatch said the state was late getting the tax rate information to county collectors. “At least 35 counties did not have all their rates until last week,” Veatch said
Monday, Oct. 24, adding he didn’t know what caused the state delays. Tax rates are set by individual taxing entities, but then are certified by the state auditor’s office. Veatch anticipated starting the printing of tax statements by the end of this week, but said it may take two weeks to get the statements printed and stuffed into the envelopes.
In addition, Veatch said those in the Gregory, Union Township, and Fabius River Drainage District would receive a separate later mailing of drainage district tax statements from his office. This was due to delays in the Fabius District getting their tax book set. All tax payments will still be due by December 31.

Lewis County veterans participate in Honor Flight
By Rita Cox, Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com
Veterans Jim Cottrell, Wayne White and Everett Humphrey, longtime LaGrange residents, traveled to Washington D.C. on Oct. 8 on the Great River Honor Flight. The honor flight program gives veterans an opportunity to see memorials dedicated to the men and women who have served the nation. The World War II Memorial also recognized the ultimate sacrifices of their friends who never made it home. The Highland Elementary fourth and fifth grade classes sponsored the men by giving money to the honor flight program instead of exchanging student gifts last Christmas. The three veterans were accompanied by a family member. Cottrell and his daughter, Patti Stanbridge; White and his daughter-in-law, Brenda White and Humphrey and his daughter Julia Davis experienced the one day trip. The group departed from Hannibal on Oct. 8. They flew from St. Louis to Baltimore, Md., and traveled by bus to Washington, D.C. They toured the W.W.II Memorial as well as the Lincoln, Korean, Vietnam and Iwo Jima Memorials. Bob and Elizabeth Dole were present for a picture with the group. The afternoon was spent touring Arlington National Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and watching the Changing of the Guard. There were approximately 1100 World War II veterans that day in Washington, D.C., taking part in in various Honor Flights from across the nation. The Veterans were amazed at how many people took the time to shake their hands and tell them “Thank You” for their freedom. A welcome home ceremony for the group took place on that evening at the Hannibal Regional Hospital. One veteran was quoted as saying “All these people are here to see us?” The group was escorted on Highway 61 and into the welcome home ceremony by over 100 Patriot Guard Riders. Jim Cottrell’s son and daughter-in-law, Mike and Pam Cottrell participated in the ride. All three men were thankful and said it was an awesome experience. They recommend that all eligible veterans go on the Honor Flight.

College undergoing accreditation review By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Four members of the Higher Learning Commission were on the Culver-Stockton campus last week for the 10-year accreditation review. Dr. Kim Gaither, Associate professor of Finance and Chair of the C-S HLC, said they reviewed virtually all aspects of the campus, including the administrative services, the student services, academics, enrollment, academics. Gaither said each of the four had various specialties and split their C-S responsibilities. “It’s a very helpful process for the school. It’s very positive. They are consultants as well as evaluators,” Dr. Gaither said. In past reviews, a preliminary report was given before a team left the campus, but the HLC no longer does this. A written report is expected in a few weeks.

Lewis County Commissioners Jesse Roberts, Wayne Murphy, Jr., and John Campen, and County Clerk Sharon Schlager await for the start of a Lewis County Salary Commission meeting Monday. The Salary Commission is a state mandated group that meets every two years, and determines salaries for those whose election is the following year. By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Uncertain fund availability led to the Lewis County Salary Commission to vote unanimously Monday to hold salaries for six elected offices. Lewis County Clerk Sharon Schlager said as of September 30, the County had $719,186.74 available in all its funds. She said the General Revenue was down from 2010, and Northern Commissioner John Campen said sales taxes for the year were up. County Collector Robert Veatch estimated collections would be the same as last year, but said there were slightly more names this year on the tax sale list. County assessment is up $4 million to $108 million, according to Assessor Craig Myers. Treasurer Kim Porter said line item expenses look better than in the past but Presiding Commissioner Wayne Murphy, Jr., said that was because office holders were working to hold the line in the budget line items, and not because of more revenue. “I don’t think the economy has hit rock bottom. My opinion is I’m making
a good wage for what I do. Until the economy is better, I’m not voting a wage increase for anyone, except hourly employees,” Murphy said. Campen moved, and Murphy seconded to hold the salaries to current levels for the six offices – Northern and Southern Commissioner ($28,547.90 each); Assessor ($43,254.40); Sheriff ($47,816.00); Coroner ($12,504); and Public Administrator ($41,800). A roll call vote was 11-0 approving the motion, with Sheriff David Parrish absent from the meeting. Those six offices will be voted in 2012, and any action would not have gone into effect until January 2013. Cost of living adjustments, which will be the County Commission decision, is yet to be determined, depending on part on health insurance costs. The Salary Commission last met Oct. 27, 2009. It includes Presiding, Northern, and Southern Commissioners; County Clerk; County Collector; Treasurer; Prosecuting Attorney; Public Administrator; Sheriff; Coroner; Assessor; and Recorder.
Recycling changes made in Canton By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Those participating in the Canton recycling will need to return to further sorting of items to be recycled. The City of Canton is working with Quincy Recycling. Participants now have to separate the #1 (soda bottles) and #2 plastics (milk and detergent jugs); separate corrugated cardboard from chip cardboard (cereal boxes); and newspaper from magazines and from office paper. However, high-gloss inserts that are part of a newspaper may stay with the newspapers. Hours for the recycling are Saturday from 9-1 at the former Phillips 66 gas station located across the Business 61 from Ayers Oil Company. While primarily Canton residents use the recycling, it is open to others in the County as well. “We encourage out-of-town recyclers. We appreciate everyone’s help in participating,” said recycling program coordinator Cindy Kell.

While the Union Troops occupied Christian University (now Culver-Stockton) in 1861, that wasn’t the only civil war activity in Lewis County. “There was a July 4 (1861) parade in Canton. The Confederate guard in Canton and the Union guard in LaGrange agreed to disarm for the day,” said Scott Giltner, associate professor of history at CulverStockton. “A Union Captain Charles Soward beat up a Canton confederate. Later, the kid’s father Richard Soward was shot in the back at about Fourth and Lewis Street by Union Captain John Howell. A riot ensued. Canton asked Illinois Governor John Wood to intervene.” Soward was never tried. An attempt to have him indicted by a grand jury failed. An indictment for first-degree murder was apparently filed in Lewis County, but stolen in a burglary of the courthouse at 1865. Patrick Hotle, Professor of History at C-S said it was a violent time in American history, including the area. “There was a lot of guerilla warfare. There were a lot of shootings and ambushes,” Hotle said. “This area was fought over, but not with big armies. Sometimes it was neighbor against neighbor.” There is historical reference of a hanging in October 1864 near the former Monticello University (Seminary) of a confederate executed by a Union soldier. Most of the Civil War action in northeast Missouri was early in the war. “There were a lot of home guards that were funded,” Giltner said. “The 1st Missouri home guard became the 21st Missouri Volunteers. The Missouri State Guard became the 69th Missouri Militia.” There are various theories, such as a Colonel Porter hiding gold in the area, but no site has been determined, and no known gold was found. Another unconfirmed tidbit is of a half-dozen prisoners at Camp Glover, whose locale is also undetermined. Hotle cited a source that listed 1,000
Lewis County men in the 21st Union Infantry and 350 men in the 69th Confederate armies. For perspective, Hotle said in the 1860 presidential election, there were 500 votes cast in Canton. Abraham Lincoln got 14 of them. “There were a lot of places in the County involving the Civil War,” Giltner said “In northeast Missouri, the Union worried about losing control. The area was pro-confederate. The battle of Athens was an attempt to defend the Union presence. The confederates merged and headed south.” LaGrange flew the secession flag, and the same flag also flew over the County Courthouse in Monticello, both in April 1861, but secession resolutions were voted down at Monticello. Two of the County judges were active in the secession movement. Secession meetings were also held in Canton, but apparently took no root. Union resolutions were adopted at the former Gilead church. There was said to be a rendezvous in the northwest of the county, but details are sketchy, but various camps were called by Lewis County names. A federal officer was captured near the Dover Church. One small skirmish was at Deer Ridge. One skirmish was at “the Monticello Bridge.” One regiment of Lewis County soldiers came primarily from Union and Highland townships. There was a raid on Canton in 1862. Missouri never left the Union, but was close to going confederate,” Giltner said. “The issue of slavery here was not like the rest of the Union. The Union forces fought with the assumption they would keep their slaves. “Missouri had the third most battles, but almost all were early battles. Most combat ceased in Missouri in 1862,” Giltner said. (Some information was taken from the History of Lewis, Clark, Knox, and Scotland Counties Missouri, published in 1887.)
Canton among drug take-back sites On October 29, the Northeast Missouri Narcotics Task Force, in collaboration with the Drug Enforcement Administration, will again take part in a nation-wide prescription drug “TakeBack” campaign. There are three area collection sites, including Canton Public Library, Hickman IGA in Paris, and County Market in Palmyra. The Task Force is providing an opportunity for individuals to safely dispose of medications no longer being used. The
NEMO Task Force has participated in Prescription Take-Back Programs in the past and removed thousands of prescription pills from the streets. The medications can be prescription or over-the-counter and in liquid, pill or patch form. Members of NEMO Task Force will staff the three locations each from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. For more information, citizens can contact the NEMO Task Force at 573221-5200.

Lewis County C-1 School District approved lease refunding certificates of participation with a net savings of about $264,860
At a regular meeting of the Lewis County C-1 School District Board of Education on September 14, 2011, a refunding resolution was approved. It authorized the sale of $1,870,000 Lease Refunding Certificates of Participation at an average interest rate of about 3.02 percent, compared to the Series 2006 Certificates which carry an average interest rate of about 4.65 percent. The District reduces the future interest expense by about $264,860 and shortens the final repayment period by one full year from the original Series 2006 Certificates without significantly increasing the payments each year. This $264,860 plus the approximate savings of $523,891 from prior refundings brings the total savings to about $788,751 of interest expense over the past thirteen years. Superintendent of Schools, Jacqueline R. Ebeling, expressed enthusiasm and support for the refunding option selected by the Board of Education. The Board President, Mr. Randy Sharpe, pointed out that the $264,860 of interest savings for the Series 2011 refunding is not all the District may realize due to the Series 2011 Refunding Certificates having a call feature in 2015 at no penalty. “If interest rates are lower in 2015 or later, we can take advantage of that. Meanwhile we are locking in these levels that are over one and a half percent (1.50 %) lower than they were in 2006,” stated Mr. Sharpe. L. J. Hart & Company of St. Louis, Missouri prepared the refunding proposal and Tom Pisarkiewicz, a Vice President with the firm, explained how it can fit into the long
range plans of the District. Mr. Pisarkiewicz mentioned that the two significant factors making the Series 2011 refunding possible were the lower interest rates than in 2006, and the fact that the Series 2006 Certificates are subject to prepayment on March 1, 2011 at no penalty. The certificates carry an “A” rating from Standard & Poor’s Corporation (S&P) and the District has an “A+” issuer credit rating from S&P based on evaluation of its overall credit worthiness. Mr. Pisarkiewicz complimented Ms. Ebeling for her prompt and thorough preparations to supply the data necessary for the official statement and credit assessment with S&P, as well as the Board of Education for their foresight in making the Series 2006 Certificates callable within five years. The closing for the refunding issue is to occur on October 26, 2011. The proceeds from the Series 2011 Refunding Certificates will prepay the callable Series 2006 Certificates on October 27, 2011. The Series 2011 Refunding Certificates were underwritten by L.J. Hart & Company and Mr. Pisarkiewicz mentioned that the Bank of Monticello purchased $315,000 and the Canton State Bank bought $145,000 of the Certificates. Several board members commended Ms. Ebeling and L.J. Hart & Company for developing the attractive refunding plan. “It is nice to be able to save $264,860 of interest expense that can be otherwise used in our overall educational program,” added Robert Reed Miller, Vice President of the Board of Education.
Presentation of three ordinances and acceptance of donated property were highlights at the Canton aldermen meeting Oct. 17. Aldermen tabled an ordinance regarding use of golf carts and utility vehicles on city streets, pending clarification of use of lights and how it relates to private property, such as Culver-Stockton College. Aldermen did pass two other ordinances, one to close an alley on Third Street between an undeveloped Vine Street and Elm Street. The other ordinance rezoned land in the south part of Canton from B-1 Highway Business to L-1 Light Industrial. The board accepted a donation from Ayers Oil Company of the former Rogers 66 Station to the City of Canton. It is where the city now holds recycling. With the City now owning the property, they can seek a grant to get the roof repaired, so baling can be done of recycled items. In other business, the board: • Offered a proclamation to Sandra Eccles for her work in painting a mural.
• Authorized Mayor Jarrod Phillips to negotiate with Speed Connect for a microwave dish on the water tower by Pizza Hut Restaurant. • Took no action on a proposal by Phillips to join a firm that offers assistance on water and sewer line issues for the city and residents, and offers a prescription discount card for residents. • Learned city attorney Dennis Smith will investigate a request to require contractors to have a license. • Approved a water line maintenance agreement with Barb Carskadon on property in the north end of Canton. • Learned it will cost about $2,000 to paint city hall. • Made no changes to a current drugtesting policy. • Discussed water loss issues on distribution lines. • Learned the city and the college would split costs on a small diversion channel from Lewis Street to Washington Street. • Learned the new police truck has been ordered and will have DARE, Culver-Stockton Wildcat, and Canton Tiger logos.

Missouri Farm Bureau Lauds Congressional Ratification of Free-Trade Agreements
After several years of delays, free-trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea were ratified by Congress recently. Northwest Missouri grain farmer Blake Hurst, Missouri Farm Bureau President said the passage of the agreements was great for agriculture in Missouri and America. “It’s great news that the free-trade agreements passed both the House and the Senate. According to our estimates this will mean $46 million in increased sales every year for Missouri farmers – over $2.5 billion nationwide in increased agriculture exports. “Right now South Korea has a 40 percent tariff on any beef products they buy from the United States and that will be phased out over the next 15 years. “We’ve got a chance at a 300,000 metric ton a year edible soybean market in South Korea, and of course in Colombia’s case, all of Colombia’s products already enter the United States duty free so all this does is get Missouri and U.S. exporters a level playing field, so this is something we waited for for several years.”

Season for a reason
The middle of October has passed, and the MLB World has finally started. This is due to the playoffs with something like six rounds, with each set of qualifiers playing a best of 23 games. That’s after a regular season schedule of 471 games per team. (Playoffs are also due to regular season success). The NBA, much like the NFL was earlier this year, has locked out players, because of discrepancies over whether owners or players should be filthier rich than the other side. Unlike the NFL, the NBA has cut at least two weeks from the season. This unfortunate news shortens the season to a mere 198 games per team, excluding the postseason. It also, in just one of a few times in NBA history lengthens the official off-season to more than just July 4. The NFL has talked incessantly - but made little move towards an actual decision - to lengthen the regular season. No one can decide if this means reducing the pre-season games, which the team uses to gel before the games that actually count and determine who can actually play the game, or whether more players will be added to the roster to supplement those who get hurt in an aggressive game. There is a word often over-
looked in the sports schedule however - season. This word means “best when used by...” Milk, four weeks past the expiration date, is old, or out of season, for example. In general, there are four natural seasons - spring summer, fall and winter. True, in other areas of the country this is altered - Chicago has two seasons - winter and August. Florida has three seasons - alligator, hurricane, and Christmas. California has five seasons - award presentation shows, earthquake, wildfires, smog, and mudslides. In sports, the four seasons used to be baseball, football basketball, and golf. Now these four run together, along with mixed martial arts, NASCAR, tennis, hockey, rodeo, bicycle motorcoss, and tiddlywinks, which all vie for attention together like 30 separate colors of spilled paint on one palette. Pretty. Would any sport really grow in popularity if offered 365 days (or more) a year? Does this prolong a player’s career? Can even the richest fan afford it cost or time-wise with more games to be in the stadium every day? Perhaps big time sports organizers forget the line in Ecclessiastes: “To everything there is a season…”

Southern Style

Sweet Tea Memories
Against what all doctors may say, blood doesn’t run through a Southerner’s veins. Sweet tea does. So, naturally, I found myself incredibly disappointed when I sat down to have my first Mid-Western dinner at a restaurant in Missouri. The waitress approached and kindly asked, “What can I get you to drink?” “I’ll have sweet tea,” I replied, expecting my wish to be granted. “Ma’am, we don’t have sweet tea here.” Almost instantaneously the withdrawals began to set in. I could feel the jitters and the chill bumps racing across my skin. An electric shock jolted down my spine. As if the waitress could see my hidden distress, she explained that they had unsweetened tea and Splenda packets. It is a fact that no human can eat a tablespoon of cinnamon alone. The bitterness of the spice is so strong that it induces some rather sickening effects. We put sugar with cinnamon in order to enjoy the flavor of the cinnamon without the bite of
the bitter. For me, tea is the same way. Putting Splenda into a rather harsh glass of ice-cold tea doesn’t give it the incredible flavor that Southern tea is famous for. Sure it’s more healthy, but we’re Southern. We like our food fried and our tea to have as much sugar in it as we can stand. I quickly glanced back over the menu in hopes to find another suitable drink. My throat had begun to have the dry, scratchy, sandpaper feeling of dehydration. I sighed, thinking back on my fond memories of my Southern home, and looked up at the waitress. “I’ll have a Sprite.” I know a part of life is adapting to change. Although I’m usually the type to run against the flow of change and hard and fast as I can, I know there are some things a person just has to give up. I’d never been to a restaurant that didn’t serve sweet tea, but I’d also never been north of the Mason-Dixon line either. With change of scenery comes change of customs. At least the grocery stores here sell corn meal.

The World Series. The Fall Classic. The Boys of September. Whatever you choose to call it by any other name, is Baseball. Some can recite names, statistics, and trivia that date back half a century or more. When you played catch (not throw) with mom or dad, you weren’t just catching a ball, you were catching each other. Something magical happens with the flight of that little ball. Being 63 years old, I’ve yet to meet the person who can define or photograph that magic that transforms and fixes us. It is as if time itself freezes in place and everything stops except the path of that little ball. You want to know more about baseball? Don’t Google and click! Call Culver-Stockton’s athletic department and ask for their baseball teams’ training schedule. Admission is free with no concessions (unless you’d like to volunteer to run the stand- all profits would go to the athletic department). The World Series? You haven’t seen baseball until you see the Wildcats practice. Bring your glove. You might even be asked to participate. Ted Murphy

Barkley are rapidly converting their property at the corner of Seventh and Bland into a model funeral home as well as a residence property. Mr. Barkley formerly had a downtown office but for sometime had been eager to obtain a residence suitable for a funeral home. He finds the reaction for the public to this arrangement is quite favorable. Mr. Barkley, while still a young man, is getting to be one of Canton’s old professional men in point of service. That President Roosevelt is the hope of the farmer and laboring man is so deep seated a conviction with Will Burnett, 91, of Washington Street, that he sent for one of the editors of this newspaper that his conviction might be published in aid of the president’s re-election. At 91, Mr. Burnett is in fairly good health, he talks with unusual intelligence and keenness of perception on political issues. 85 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal October 29, 1926 Rev. R. L. Thorpe Creighton Graves and Dr. W. V. Cooter will leave Monday for Hot Springs, Ark., to attend a tri-state convention of Kiwanians. These gentlemen are going as delegates from the Canton Club. Farrand Sayre of Boston came Saturday to visit his newphew J.S. Sayre, and to meet the old friends of the town of his boyhood. Mr. Sayre entered West Point June 14, 1880. He remained in the Army service until he was officially retired on June 17, 1925. During that time his ability and worth won him promotion on up from Lieutenant to Colonel, then during the World War was Brigadier General with about 7,000 men under him at Brownsville, Tex. He is now in the state employment of Massachu-

His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Patterson at the Baptist Church in LaBelle Oct. 25. On Nov. 7, the St. Patrick’s church west of Monticello will be blessed and dedicated. Very Rev. P.P.

erations located outside a disaster county or contiguous county are eligible for SURE benefits if they had a production loss greater or equal to 50 percent of the normal production on the farm. In 2010, ALL Missouri counties received a Secretarial Designation or were contiguous to a designated county. To meet program eligibility requirements, producers must have obtained a policy or plan of insurance for all insurable crops through the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and obtained Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage on non-insurable crops, if available, from FSA. Eligible farmers and ranchers who meet the definition of a socially disadvantaged, limited resource or beginning farmer or rancher do not have to meet this requirement. Forage crops intended for grazing are not eligible for SURE benefits. For more information on SURE program eligibility requirements contact the Lewis County FSA office at 573-767-5274 or visit the website at http://www.fsa.usda. gov/sure.

“Thor” actor Joseph Gatt will share the stage with aspiring young actors during Culver-Stockton College’s Annual Guest Artist Production beginning Thursday, Nov. 3, 2011 with a 7:30 p.m. showing. The CulverStockton College Theatre Department will present “A Streetcar Named Desire.” The production will also be staged Friday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m., and a matinee performance will be held 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. Gatt will fill the role of Stanley Kowalski, the main character in “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Gatt earned a B.A. in acting & musical theatre from the Mountview Academy Of Theatre Arts, in addition to training at Sylvia Young’s Theatre School. Immediately after graduating, Gatt landed a series of TV, film and theatre roles; including the UK national tour of “Great Expectations”, with Brian Glover; the feature film “Orpheus & Eurydice”, playing opposite Oliver Reed; the West End production of “Miss Saigon”, produced by Cameron Macintosh; and a memorable episode of “The Bill”, opposite Chris Ellison. In 2005, Gatt immigrated to the U.S., immediately booking lead roles in the SyFy Channel pilot “Saurian”; the feature “Killing Ariel”; Wes Craven’s “Pulse”, opposite Kristen Bell; and Mary Lambert’s “Dark Path Chronicles”. Most recently, Gatt portrayed Gundroth the Frost Giant in “Thor.” Student cast mem-
Lewis County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director John Wheeler announced that the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program enrollment for 2010 crop year losses begins November 14, 2011. “Producers across the state experienced several natural disasters during the 2010 crop year that caused hardship and financial losses to many agricultural operations,” said Wheeler. “The SURE program provides assistance to producers when disaster strikes, so I strongly encourage producers with 2010 crop losses to contact the Lewis County FSA office to learn more about the program,” he said. To qualify for a SURE payment, the producer’s operation must be located in at least one county that had a Secretarial disaster declaration or is contiguous to a county with the designation. The producer must have suffered at least a 10 percent production loss that affects one crop of economic significance. Producers with agricultural op-

Western Lewis County Fire Protection District Offers Tips for National Fire Prevention Month Volunteer firefighters are more than just a rescue service. They are teachers, farmers and mechanics; they are fathers, daughters and friends. The communities served by volunteer fire departments depend on these brave men and women to be their first line of defense in the case of an emergency. Most small communities such as La Belle do not receive enough funding for fire protection services, yet still experience the same emergencies found in a big city. Community support is vital to Western Lewis County Fire Protection District to help purchase necessary equipment for its volunteers to protect Lewis County during fires and other emergencies. Local farmer Larry Davis knows the importance of volunteer fire protection, and chose Western Lewis County Fire Protection District when given the opportunity to direct a $2,500 donation to a non-profit organization through America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. With the $2,500 donation, the fire department was able to purchase an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and two computers for two fire stations to keep records.

“Western Lewis County Fire Protection District is deeply appreciative of the Monsanto Fund’s support to our all-volunteer fire-rescue agency,” said Harry Scifres, Western Lewis County fire chief. “Our funds are very limited each year, so purchasing needed additional equipment is always a problem. This grant allowed us to buy an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and two computers for improved safety training for our volunteers. Community involvement is vital to helping us best serve our fellow citizens.” October is Fire Prevention month, Scifres reminds us to thank the local volunteers who strive to keep our community safe and to inspect our homes for possible fire hazards by following these safety tips: 1. Install a smoke alarm on every level of the home and test it monthly. 2. Prevent electrical fires by checking outlets and unplugging any unused appliances. Avoid overloading extension cords or circuits, and secure any loose electrical connections. 3. Prepare for the winter months, provide sufficient space around portable heaters, and inspect chimneys and fireplaces. 4. Create an escape route with family and practice it often. Make sure everyone knows what the safe meeting place will be outside
the home in case of an emergency. 5. Blow out all burning candles when leaving a room and never leave a child alone in a room where a candle is burning. Also, remember to keep lighters and matches in a locked cabinet out of a child’s reach. For a rural community, $2,500 can go a long way to providing organizations such as Western Lewis County Fire Protection District with the tools they need to keep their communities safe. Visit www.growcom munities.com to learn more about America’s Farmers Grow Communities. The program is part of a broad commitment by the Monsanto Fund to invest in farm communities in order to highlight the important contributions farmers make every day to our society, and sign-ups for this year’s program are going on now. From now through Nov. 30, 2011, farmers can apply online at www.grow communities.com or call 1-877-267-3332 to apply by phone.

Equine Dentist visits Canton By Brianna Bartlett brianna@lewispnj.com “If you own a horse, you own a dental problem,” said Roger Cole, Veterinarian and Equine Dentist who came to Lewis County from his home in Marshfield, Mo. to treat the dental problems of horses throughout the County. Dr. Roger Cole DVM graduated from the University of Missouri and has both a veterinary license and an equine dentistry license. He has been practicing for 35 years. Equine Dentistry is a practice used for domesticated horses. “Wild horses,” Cole explained, “ Eat grit, brush, trees, etc. These eating habits naturally wear down the teeth. Because domesticated horses have a very different diet, it is important to have a horse seen by a professional dentist.” He explained that horses’ teeth develop sharp points on the insides of their mouths which rub against the sides of the tongue and cheeks of a horse and can also cause a ‘roller-coaster’ effect on the teeth (peaks and valleys). This causes ulcers and other sores to develop in the horse’s mouth. It can also cause severe pain due to the jagged points
resting against the bridle placed in the mouth. Tell-tale signs that can be seen on a horse that requires dental work are lack of appetite and weight loss. Also, the horse may turn its head sideways while eating and throw his head about while an owner attempts to ride the horse. To fix the points and ridges, a horse needs to have its teeth filed down. This can be done by hand, but most equine dentists use air-powered tools. The job of the dentist is to file the sharp points, level out any ridges that may be impairing the horse, and filing a spot (called the bit-seat) for the bridle to comfortably rest. The horse is sedated, which, in the state of Missouri, can only be administered by a licensed veterinarian. After sedation, the dentist begins by opening the mouth with a mouth speculum, filing the back teeth, and moving his way forward. “It is important that a horse owner educate him/herself on the upkeep of a horse. In comparison to all the other health issues that can arise, dentistry is a very small expense. Owners should bring colts to a dentist every six months to a year, but grown horses only need to see the dentist annually or bi-annually.”
Women have always played a large role in agriculture. In recent years, women are becoming more involved in the business operations of the farm. Farm women have diverse backgrounds, some which prepare women well for the responsibilities of running a farm business. Other women come into farming operations by marrying farmers, or by means of their spouse or family members dying and leaving them in charge. Being married to a farmer or being a woman in a male dominated business has its challenges. Annie’s Project is an educational program created specifically for farm women. Topics include: risk management, record
keeping software, ownership of property, insurance, financial statements, spreadsheets, writing a business plan, estate planning, leases, communication issues, personality traits, and marketing. The course will be taught by University of Missouri Extension personnel and guest speakers. Annie’s Project provides farm women with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to make informed risk management decisions regarding their farm business operations. This will enable farm women to become better managers, and in turn, increase the viability of their farming operation. It also gives farm women an opportunity to network and interact with other women involved in

Halloween Safety Reminder The Missouri State Highway Patrol urges everyone to be safety-minded on Halloween. Halloween can be fun for everyone. Motorists are reminded to pay attention for trickor-treaters. Excited children can dart in front of vehicles, so drive slowly and with extra caution. Parents using vehicles for trick-or-treating will increase traffic so awareness is necessary. Trick-or-treaters should wear safe garments while going from house to house. Light-colored
clothing or reflective tape helps increase visibility as would a flashlight once the sun sets. Masks can impair vision, so make-up is suggested. Always accompany an adult or stay in groups. Parents and adults should remind children to only approach familiar houses. Those attending Halloween parties should designate a driver for the trip home. Halloween is a time for “scary fun”. Parents, take the time to trick-or-treat

Halloween Candy Tips
Halloween is a great occasion to dress-up and have lots of fun. Children look forward to it every year, but what can a parent do to balance their children’s health without becoming an ogre that makes a big deal about all of the candy? Dietitian Melinda Hemmelgarn suggests trying some different methods. Prolonging purchasing candy to have at the door can help resist the temptation to eat. Feed kids before they trick-or-treat so dinner won’t be replaced with candy. Ensure that children brush their teeth because sweets cause tooth decay. Offer alternative treats (such as healthier foods like cereal bars or items one might find in a birthday gift bag) and limit the number of houses to visit. If the desire is to not break tradition and believe candy is the best treat, choose candies that
